À propos de cet audio

September 1938.

Hitler is determined to start a war. Chamberlain is desperate to preserve the peace.

The issue is to be decided in a city that will forever afterwards be notorious for what takes place there. Munich.

As Chamberlain’s plane judders across the Channel and the Fürher’s train steams relentlessly south from Berlin, two young men travel with secrets of their own. Hugh Legat is one of Chamberlain’s private secretaries, Paul Hartmann a German diplomat and member of the anti-Hitler resistance. Great friends at Oxford before Hitler came to power, they haven’t seen one another since they were last in Munich together six years earlier. Now, as the future of Europe hangs in the balance, their paths are destined to cross again.

When the stakes are this high, who are you willing to betray? Your friends, your family, your country or your conscience?

6 pages at the end of chapter 20 (chapter 9 in the book - pages 263-268) are skipped. This is a very significant scene so I’m glad I was reading along at that point and not just listening.

Excellent but missing 6 pages

One of THE turning points of history. One can see many modern parallels. Great narration. Good suspense in the second half concerning the invented characters. Very informative true story concerning the real politicians and diplomats. I note one reviewer mentioned a missing chapter and this certainly explains a remark Chamberlain makes to Legat on the last morning in Munich. I thought I’d missed something during listening.

Lessons for 2025?

Love Robert Harris and this has all his usual attention to detail and fast paced history in the making. Unfortunately the events are just not that exciting, as important as they were to what came next. The narration was a little bland and dare I say, overly English, which is saying a lot for an English novel set partly in England. For history buffs and die-hard Harris fans only. Thrill seekers or casual readers should look elsewhere.

Interesting as history, dull as a novel
